Pets for adoption

Look at my ears! It's a wonder I don't lift off and float away on the breeze! Fortunately, my name's not Dumbo: it's Toast. I came all the way from Halifax Humane in Daytona Beach to be adopted here in Savannah. Many of my friends from Daytona have already found homes, but not me. I love car rides and running around. I am playful, but I'm overall a fairly mellow dog. I have lived with children and other dogs and I am partially housetrained.

Older cat not quite what you are looking for? How about a kitten? We have plenty available for adoption. All are cute and ready to go. Come meet Maracas.

HSGS held a free adoption event that left us nearly empty, but some great pets did not go home: Half-Pint for one. He is a sweet, lap-loving cat. He is a little older and a little overweight. Half-Pint is looking for a quiet home to call his own. The shelter is stressful for him and he is ready to go home.

Demi is a sweet, petite little Dobie girl, only weighing 38 pounds. She is black and rust with natural ears and a docked tail. She is about 11-12 months old and will not really get any bigger. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention. She will be microchipped before being adopted. She is crate trained and gets along great with all dogs. Because she is still a puppy, she loves to play and would do best in a home with another dog to play with. Potential adopters must agree to continue her obedience training to insure she will be well-mannered. She would be an excellent prospect for someone wanting to do agility training.

Toby is a handsome, blue-eyed, male cattle dog mix. He is about 1 year old, neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. He is very friendly and high energy.

This is Roseanne, a female Australian shepherd/Lab mix who is about 3 months old. She is a sweet girl who just wants to give love. Come out and meet this great girl today.

This is one of Freedom's puppies. We have three females remaining from this litter. They are mixed-breed puppies who were born April 3. It is now time for these little beauties to find their homes.

Penelope, Sam's sister, is as sweet and friendly as he is. They were raised with lots of human attention and are very friendly. They are litterbox trained and have had their first shots. We are adopting them separately, but will give a discount if two are adopted together. Contact Karen at 912-598-0561.

Sam is one of four friendly, playful siblings that are about 12 weeks old. Although they are all different colors (two males and two females), they are all friendly, playful and have wonderful dispositions. We are adopting them separately, but will give a discount if two are taken together. Contact Karen at 912-598-0561.

Sammy was found wandering about in a Savannah neighborhood. A good Samaritan has been keeping him while looking for his owner. He had no microchip or identification of any kind, and Ms. Samaritan has faithfully done all the checking for an owner. He will be vetted and brought up to date as needed. DRNA will help find him a good home. Could you be the one?

Incoming from Charlotte, Agatha (Aggie, as she is better known) came into rescue because of her elderly owners' declining health. They had been her lifelong parents and she had been treated like a queen! Aggie loves everyone: people, dogs, cats, kids. Foster mom started calling her 'Agatha Christie' because when outside, her nose is to the ground like she is sniffing out the solution to a mystery. Very comical to watch! She loves to be petted and snuggled while watching TV. She has always been the "queen bee" in her home and would do well as an only dog. She is crate and housetrained and loves a fenced yard. Aggie does not act her age of 10 years. She is happy, active, loves toys and even likes her nails clipped! She has many years of life and fun in her, and she is looking for the right family to share these golden years. Aggie is moving to Savannah, and her adoption fee is $150, although June is "Adopt a Senior Month" and the fee is waived for approved adopters.

Poppy is a 1-year-old, 5-pound, medium-brown, purebred Chihuahua. He is happy-go-lucky, loves older children and small dogs. He loves to snuggle and is very entertaining. He is neutered, has all his shots and is healthy. Contact Stacy at stacyhamlin@gmail.com.
